Pumatrackcar Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi there. The hardest part is knocking the old ones out. I dropped the beam out of the mounts and knocked a chisel between the bush and the beam. It gets about half way down and pushes the bush out. It's a pain pushing the new ones in without damaging them if you don't gave the tool to do it. best way round that is fit polly ones. About £35 of eBay takes 5 mins to them. Hope it helps Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmark330 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks are the rear axle bushes also known as rear suspension bushes, I was led to believe you have to get the new bushes machine pressed back in, is this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumatrackcar Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There are only 2 bushes on the rear. 1 each side. I have changed no end of them in fiestas, pumas and ka, They just need to be pressed or knocked back in. I tend to put loads of grease on them and knock them in with a big hammer and a bit of wood so the don't get damaged. But like I said the easiest way to re fit them is fit polyurethane ones. They don't need any pressing at all. You just put two bushes in and a crush tube through the middle and jobs done Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
